Overview
- Robert Andrich disclosed on the 360Media podcast 'Spielmacher' that he told Florian Wirtz, "Please don't do it," in an effort to dissuade a move to FC Bayern.
- Andrich said teammates tried to influence Wirtz in the dressing room because they did not want to strengthen a direct Bundesliga rival.
- He acknowledged having supported Bayern as a child yet still preferred Wirtz to continue his career abroad rather than in Munich.
- Wirtz ultimately chose Liverpool in the summer of 2025 for about €140 million after Bayern had long been viewed as the frontrunner.
- After a difficult start in England, Wirtz has recently improved for Liverpool, being directly involved in seven goals over the past six weeks.
